The priinery object of this invention is to provide at fuse holder vr'hioh een he ino io readilyY connected and disconnected then the ones now in use. i

yAnother object of the invention is to improve the electric and mechanica-l elliciemzjiT ol' the connection.

'5 Another object ol7 the invention to provide e fuse holder which is readily edeptiilrle to different situations-end uses.

rThe accompanying drawings illustrete 4he invention.
